In Pictures: Eclipse in Rothesay Bay, Isle of Bute, Scotland

For a couple of years, Eclipse, built by German shipyard Blohm & Voss GmbH, held the title of the world's largest superyacht. She may have been pushed back to the second spot by the 180 metre Azzam, at 162.5 metres, she remains highly impressive nevertheless. The yacht is on a cruise of Northern Europe right now, and she was spotted in Bergen Norway in June, and in Scotland a couple of days ago. The huge yacht, owned by a well known Russian businessman, accommodates 36 guests and can carry up to 100 crew members. Some of Eclipse’s most impressive features include a massive 200m² swim platform, a large pool on the main aft deck and two helicopter landing pads.
